I guess we'll get a good idea how good our defense really is after the next 4 games.

Quote:

Looking ahead: It's Andrew Luck next week, not Brandon Weeden. This will begin a stretch of Luck, Matt Ryan, Drew Brees and Joe Flacco for the Dolphins defense. So we'll get a reading on how good/great the defense in a month. Luck had his eighth come-from-behind win against Oakland in a game where the Colts struggled. Luck had a 127.9 quarterback rating Sunday. The road grows steeper.

What team thinks 2-3 and we're good down the stretch? The Fins aren't thinking it, the beat writer's and some of us are. Mindset is huge and the mindset every week has to be to win. The Colts barely beat the Raiders, the Ravens look terrible, the Saints D sucks, and Matty ice is melting. The old cliché, 1 game at a time is so true.

Exactly. Writers and analysts have the luxury of picking games ahead of time based on roster versus roster. It serves a purpose...to fill the void between games.

We have no clue what each team will bring to the table. I saw enough from Tannehill and the defense to keep me confident that Miami has a shot to win each game.

5-0 during this stretch would be great. Realistically though, I'd be happy with 3-2. I think it's completely plausible for us to beat the Colts and the Ravens. Atlanta and New Orleans are going to be the toughest matchups for us.
